Project certified by USIJI: March 9, 1999
Baseline
Calculation:
Capex captures the waste heat generated by
its existing gas turbines. Utilizing the
waste heat will enable the plant to generate
approximately 185 MW of new energy without
the use of additional fuel. This will create
approximately 1 million metric tons of CO2
equivalent offsets per year over project
life, estimated to be 30 years. Governmental
approval agencies in both Argentina and the
U.S. have recognized and certified this
project.
Monitoring and
Verification:
The single most important criteria of the
USIJI in project evaluation is whether or
not there are real reductions in emissions
associated with the implementation of a
project-and an evaluation of the estimated
reductions. The Capex, S.A. project is USIJI
certified. |
